Roma defender Roger Ibanez may be on the move this summer after spending the past three years in the Italian capital.

The Brazilian centreback has been at the center of numerous transfer rumors linking him with the Premier League, La Liga and, most recently, Saudi Arabia.

In fact, Il Messaggero reports that Ibanez was approached by Al-Shabab who submitted an opening bid to the capital club.

Roma, however, promptly rejected this offer as it did not come near the Giallorossi’s asking price.

The club are in no hurry to sell Ibanez and want to consider only proposals above €25-30 million.
